+# An AOF file may be found to be truncated at the end during the Redis
+# startup process, when the AOF data gets loaded back into memory.
+# This may happen when the system where Redis is running
+# crashes, especially when an ext4 filesystem is mounted without the
+# data=ordered option (however this can't happen when Redis itself
+# crashes or aborts but the operating system still works correctly).
+#
+# Redis can either exit with an error when this happens, or load as much
+# data as possible (the default now) and start if the AOF file is found
+# to be truncated at the end. The following option controls this behavior.
+#
+# If aof-load-truncated is set to yes, a truncated AOF file is loaded and
+# the Redis server starts emitting a log to inform the user of the event.
+# Otherwise if the option is set to no, the server aborts with an error
+# and refuses to start. When the option is set to no, the user requires
+# to fix the AOF file using the "redis-check-aof" utility before to restart
+# the server.
+#
+# Note that if the AOF file will be found to be corrupted in the middle
+# the server will still exit with an error. This option only applies when
+# Redis will try to read more data from the AOF file but not enough bytes
+# will be found.
